Can you remove the space in the dropbox folder name ("Dropbox (Company-Name)")?

i cant believe you havent fixed this, how hard is it to just drop the parenthesis for the business folders? give us the option to just use underscores. You are just making it so hard  for many of us that use scripts in their programs. What a pain, really.

Alright, thanks for answering!

@Jay, like I said in my post, I already knew of this thread and already voted here, but I was afraid it wouldn't get any attention due to being marked as solved, when it isn't.

Does the Dropbox team consider improving your software using ideas that marked as solved?

Hi Alej4ndro, as the thread is still open to voting, and regarding the same issue, I’ve merged your thread here.

Basically, allow the renaming of the folder "Dropbox (CompanyName)" or at least give an option to use a "programmer_friendly" name, such as "Dropbox_CompanyName".

This has been asked many times before and it seems something really simple to implement and REALLY benefitial for programmers. Just today I had to debug a program only to realize that the problem was the dropbox folder name.

Yes, I can do sym links, renaming tricks, placing troublesome programs and files outside dropbox in folders with friendly paths (and then remember to backup them some other way), but honestly, I shouldn't have to and I can't predict which of the software I use will fail due to your naming conventions.

For the record, a similar idea is found at https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox/Can-you-remove-the-space-in-the-dropbox-folder-name-quot-Dropbox/idi-p/22500 but it shows as "Solved" when that's clearly not the case.

Thank you.

True.

I took me a couple of hours to work around this in my batch files. I think Dropbox needs to consider that nowadays programmers and companies use dropbox to share like portable apps, batch files etc and keep those in sync over the team.

Maybe this wasn't thought of in the beginning. but as time changes so do the needs of the users.

First and foremost, Dropbox should ask users changing to business that the folder name will be changing. And it should ask for its new name. Also placing an underscore instead of space would make things a lot easier for many users.

This process of changing to business messed up my PC from the beginning. making my dropbox unusable and I needed to redownload my whole 300GB. So my PC was working a couple of hours until I could use it again.

So there is a lot of improvement necessary and since I read about this issue in several threads, some years old, I wonder why there has been no solution to this already?

It's a paid product!!!

Hey there vedentis - sorry to hear about this.

As this is not currently an option, I'm passing your comments along to the team for consideration - thank you for your feedback! I am also moving the post under the "Share an Idea" section so other users can find and upvote it too.

If there's anything else I can do, please let me know. 

Same here. I need to run Batch-files inside my Dropbox. But because of the space between the "name" and "dropbox" it won't work.

There needs to be an option to change this.

Like many dropbox business users, the space is the Dropbox folder name continusly causes headaches.

I know that there are workarounds for all of these problems, hower it should be possible to just fix the problem so that workarounds wouldn't be constantly necessary - please do not mark this issue as solved while telling us (the customers) that spaces in paths are commonplace (they are not) or that we should "fix" our workflows by parseing a json file.

I know that currently there is no way to rename our dropbox folder.  What I would like to know is whether or not this is ever going to be addressed.  A no would be far better than no answer at all, which is what has been provided for the past three years.
